The Illinois Supreme Court announced yesterday the creation of a public domain citation system for Illinois Supreme Court and Appellate Court opinions. The court will no longer contract with private publishers to produce bound print volumes of the opinions. The opinions will reside at the Illinois Supreme Court website, freely accessible to the public. See coverage from Legal Research Plus and the Illinois State Bar Association, which reports that the change will save Illinois taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. About a dozen other states, including Ohio, have adopted a public domain citation system.
